WELCOME TO TEKIVU MAI JERUSALEMI
E gadrevi na sasaga me da walia nai vakarau ni veivakamavoataki era dau ciqoma ka vakamatautaka o ira na noda tagane ena nodra matavuvale. Eda kila ni vu mai oqo, ena veisaqasaqa ni vakasama, na veisau ni i vakarau ni bula, kei na i tovo e ciqomi. Na kena i wali e vagolei vei ira na 1 tagane kei na veika era sotava ena nodra veimaliwai vakaveiwekani kei na leqa ni yali na i tovo vakavanua, kei na bula vakayalo. Ni sai ira oqo nai liuliu ni matavavule kei na bula raraba, ka dodonu me ra maroroya tu na kila ka, vaka itaukei.
We aim to confront the cycles of harm that our men accept and normalise in their families and community. We understand that conflicting mindsets, lifestyle changes, also accepted behaviour’s enable it. Our solution targets the realities that Men experience through cultural conflicts and threats of cultural loss in their mana, as indigenous knowledge holders, inheritors and heads of families and community.
Ni da Railesuva na dredre ni bula sa oti kei na gauna oqo. Na sala ki liu sai koya me da vakarautaka e dua nai tovo kei nai e vakarau me baleti ira na matabose e ra domo ni kena kaburaki na Vuvale Sautu kei na kila ka vakavanua, vakayalo talega. Eda na tara vata me kaukauwa cake na noda veisiga ni mataka, e na ulutaga oqo e da rawa ni tara cake kina e dua na viti vinaka.
By acknowledging our difficult past and present, our way forward is to redefine a path for collective men voices to champion thriving Vuvale Sautu of well-being and cultural awareness. Together, we’ll build a stronger future.
The Problem We Are Addressing with Fiji Men
Eda vinakata me dua na matabose me ra liutaka na turaga itaukei mai Viti ka ra sema tu vakavinaka na nodra kila ka, vakavuli, vakavanua kei na lotu me rawa kina na bula sautu. E na kaukauwa cake na kena i vakatakilakila, kei na tiko vinaka ena nodra Tagutuva na i valavala ni bula leqa. E na rawa ni da cakava oqo ena noda vakayagataka na veika kece e bibi vei ira kece na tagane mai viti, na nodra matavuvale kei na nodra veiyasana cokovata mai noda e da bula e Aotearoa.
We want to see more connected and informed Fijian Men’s led community where they have the time, space and capability to live lives of stronger identity, and wellbeing by breaking the cycles (inherited, and lived out) of harm. We can do this by investing in what matters to all diversities of Fijians men their families and their Fijian collective communites.
E vinakati me da cau ki na dua na Aotearoa bulabula, ena noda susuga cake na noda yavu ni bula ni Vūvale Saūtu, na veika eda vakamareqeta na itaukei mai viti. Nai tovo vakavanua, na noda vosa, me bula tiko ena veitabatamata yani ki Liu.
We want to contribute to a thriving Aotearoa by nurturing our Vūvale Saūtu Fijian values, culture, language to survive in the generations to come.
